If it is just pure gaming then you would want a 360 if you are more of a Hardcore gamer. Wii if you don't mind something different. Well since you say your poor and only want to game I can't recommend the PS 3 right now.

If you're really strapped for cash, just get a Wii and save yourself some money. But if you're really interested in HD gaming and more mature gaming, then get a Ps3. I say Ps3 because you don't want to risk it with 360s dieing mysteriously, so I'd just bite the bullet and get the PS3 package. What kind of games do you like?

I'd say the 360, but then again I am a lemming.

Reasons: XBL is great, You get a lot of the PC's best games, the multiplats all seem to be great on the 360, the exclusives are great and seems to get timed exclusives first, so no waiting.

The periferals are quite nice too: the steering wheels great, Ace Combat 6 has a great looking flight controller coming with it, the Guitar hero 2 X-plorer is great as is the wireless headset, messenger kit, HD DVD and standard wireless controllers.

I gave your post about a seconds thought and came up with Ninja Gaiden 2. Plus the 360 already has a great library, so he won't have to wait for possible good games but maybe flops.

Pure gaming? 360! It offers tons of good games now, tons of good games later and only costs $350.

ok, explain to me how ninja gaiden even begins to compare to killzone 2, metal gear solid 4, timesplitters 4, ratchet and clank future, so on. i played through ninja gaiden sigma 3 times on ps3. it was awesome, but honestly i thought soul calibur was better.

9 of those are multi-plat. But Outside of that still a good list. Not as impressive as the PS3's IMO.

Really should replace system with console unless you mean gaming grade PC since many peopleuse the PC to do a lot of things these days. Not having one at all (even an ancient one) would be foolish.

Wii, because of the first party Nintendo, the strong SEGA support, the Virtual Console, the Gamecube backwards compatibility, and the DS connectivity.

I could go trawling through all the games, but there is no real point. Splinter Cell conviction could top MGS4 (don't know), Too Human could be a sleeper, Banjo Threee could be out next year etc etc. Lets wait for the 360's current heavy weights to be released and see what is announced next before discounting 2008 for the 360.

Get a 360, it has the most for your money, the most game, imo the best games and the best future game lineup. All fanboyism aside whenever I go to my friends house that has all 3 systems, there is almost never anything to play on the Wii or Ps3, we all just end up playing on the 360 and ps2 most of the time.

It would be a hard choice... PS1 has Chrono Trigger, FF VI, and other SNES greats, but Wii has all the cl assic Marios, Zelda, Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid...

*shrugs* 9 are 360 only still and the 360 is the only common denominator for all the multiplats, You have to get a PC and a PS3 to play all of them.

Pure gaming? 360! It offers tons of good games now, tons of good games later and only costs $350.

PS3 will be $399 for a 40gb this holiday and the good games are rolling in nonstop.
